5.0 out of 5 stars Franklin wins the hearts of children the very first time ., July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Franklin Goes To School (Paperback)

All of the Franklin books deal with something a child might face.They are written so it is easy for children to conect with their new found friend, and thats just what Franklin will become. I teach children and Franklin is the most asked for of all the books we have. His stories are great and children learn from his experiences.

This review is from: Franklin Goes To School (Paperback)

From the first time our daughter had a "Franklin" book read to her, she's loved the series. Beautifully illustrated and written "up" to a child's level. We wish there were more titles available.
